Defining Measures

Your data may contain information such as the spend associated with a particular transaction. It is necessary to define such data as measures for effective analysis.

To define measures within your data, complete the following steps:

1. Open the basic input set or cube, and then go to the Fact Measure Definition page.
2. Click Add New Measure.
3. Enter name, type, and fact field to use. If you want to create a measure using a mathematical operator on two fact fields, select the relevant fields, and then click Save.
4. On the Fact Measure Definition page, if you have defined more than one measure, select the measure that you want the system to use for generating and updating roll-up information, by selecting the Default Roll up option in the corresponding row.
5. Click Save.
